Mafia Wars

Chapter 6

I felt someone nudging me and calling my name in a distance but all I wanted was to sleep and it didn't last very long.

"Scarlet wake up love" I heard someone say but I was too deep in my dream

"No another five minutes please" I said and turned only to fall off the bed and hit my head against the bed side table and yup I'm awake now. "Ouch" I said rubbing my head. Wait a bed I don't remember getting in a bed only falling asleep in the car.

"Shit... Are you okay?" I heard that voice say again I could have sworn it was Jimmy's and I peeped over the bed only to see none other than Jim. My eyes grew big and I tried to get up to hug him I have missed him so much only to grab my stomach when I scorching pain erupted. Shit that hurt like hell and I half screamed moaned at the pain.

All of a sudden he was at my side trying to help me up.

"Come let me help" he said softly and helped me back on the bed. He sat some pillows at my back so I was feeling comfortable

"Thank you Jim" I said giving him a smile he handed me a glass of water with some pills. Knowing it most probably were pain killers and I took it and drowned it with water.

"Feeling better now?" he asked again

"Better thank you Jim if I wasn't in pain right now I would've given you a big hug because I missed you so much" I said rubbing it again.

"Aw you're always such a romantic yet you do look like shit" Jim said holding his heart making puppy eyes

"Nice way to make me feel like a lady" I said laughing but stopped at the pain in my stomach

"Don't worry dear the painkillers will kick in soon" he said sitting on the side of the bed.

"Now tell me what have you been up to?" Jim said in the most obvious tone

"You know the usual getting into shit and killing a man" I said softly as tears erupted in my eyes again.

"Scar don't worry you know if you didn't do it you would have been the one lying on that floor. So it was either him or you" Jim said talking my hand

"You just sounded like Angelo but I feel so bad I don't know at the moment it seemed like the right thing to do, but now the guilt is eating me alive. I can't get that image out of my head" I said looking out the window on my left, when I'm feeling better I really have to see what this place looks like and besides I needed to take my mind off things, I thought.

"It will get better I promise" Jim said interrupting my thoughts I wonder what is going on in that head of yours Jim.

"I'm just really glad Sam wasn't there and luckily she left town in time otherwise she would have been caught in the crossfire" I said to Jim looking at him

"We'll make sure everything will be okay my dear, but you have to stay here for a while as there are a few things Angelo wants to discuss with you" he said in a serious tone

"Where is he by the way?" I asked

"He is busy dealing with the mess you left us but you will see him soon" Jim replied and winked at me

"You make it sound like I miss him" I said and he gave me a smile

"Well do you?" he asked again in a boyish way

"Are you insane? I hate that guy's guts" I said clicking my tongue

"A guy could only wonder but first you have to rest and get better" he got up from the bed but before he left the room I called him.
